Rough & Tumble

With all the hype on netted and ripped clothing and especially the neat tutorials on how to make your very own Raquel Allegra-type top, I finally came to the realization that I would never have the time to make my own. I was lucky enough to find this mesh top at the thrift store just waiting to be picked up. It even had a couple of holes in it to add to its character. I'm still looking for a longer tunic version but for now, this will have to do.

Actually, come to think of it... I've been saving AlectoNyx's etsy site in my bookmarks for awhile. I might have to pick myself up one of her beautiful creations soon. Here's a pic of Gala from Inside Am-Lul's Closet wearing one of AlectoNyx's dresses.

Janie: Thanks! On thrift shops in Houston, I like the thrill of the hunt, so I tend to stick with Value Village or Family Thrift. However, I love Westheimer for its boutiques, consignment stores, and psuedo-resale shops (i.e.-Buffalo Exchange, Taxi Taxi) for when I'm roaming around that strip.

Melanie: Those boots are currently my fave right now! They are super versatile and comfy. Perfect for daily wear.

yeah haha you can totally shred your own T shirt! it´s very easy once you get into it.. I did like 10 this summer :D ! Oh and btw you shouldnt do it with a too long t shirt because when you finish shredding it it will be extrememly long anyways :)
